Work inside a course

Find course context, move between learning areas, and understand why some resources or actions may be unavailable.

Before you start

The course header shows the expected title and code.
The selected course area shows its loaded, empty, unavailable, or permission state.

Use Try again on the course surface when loading fails.
If a course is absent from the course list, ask your organization’s administrator or course instructor to verify membership.

Choose a course from your course list
Use the course title and code to confirm the correct context before opening work or uploading files.
Use course navigation
Move between the areas enabled for that course. On narrow screens, the tab strip scrolls so active and adjacent areas remain available.
Read the current state
Draft, published, unavailable, or permission-limited states appear with text and structure, not color alone.

Confirm that you opened the intended course and role application.
Check the status message for publication, timing, membership, or permission context.
Retry only when the interface offers a recovery action; repeated failures should be reported to your organization’s administrator.

Open Announcements for published course news. Assigned instructors can prepare, schedule and pin an announcement; students do not see a pending or canceled item.
Use comments and Likes only where the published announcement permits them. Archived courses remain readable but do not accept new participation.
Open Discussions for course threads, protected attachments and optional polls. An instructor can choose Present poll to show aggregate results during a class; the poll remains part of its course discussion.
If a conversation disappears, confirm the exact course membership and publication state before retrying. A saved link never grants access after permission changes.

From the course Overview, choose Course handbook to preview learner-safe course details, published schedules, upcoming sessions and resource links. Use Print / Save PDF in a browser when you need a copy.
The handbook excludes private learner records, assessment questions and protected file URLs. If a section exceeds its 100-item limit, use the course pages for the complete list.
If your organization has enabled certification, Students open Certificates to see their own awards. Authorized instructors may issue only for a current student in a course they teach; awards are manually confirmed, not calculated from grades.
A certificate is a private organization record. Browser Print / Save PDF makes a personal copy; it is not a signed public credential or an accreditation claim.

Understand role applications, navigation, preferences, and the boundaries that determine what you can see.

Use the Student application to save assignment work, submit it as an attempt, and complete an available exam attempt.

Organize and open the shared course library, preview documents and video inside Mirket, and draw on saved or live-collaborative whiteboards.
